Whitehall Mayor Kim Maggard, barring a campaign from a write-in candidate, will be unopposed in seeking her third term in the general election after the petition of her only potential challenger was not certified Tuesday, Feb. 19, by the Franklin County Board of Elections.

Alexander N. Mitchell failed to submit the required number of valid signatures on his petition for the office of mayor, according to the board of elections.

Only 20 of the 44 signatures on Mitchell’s petition were valid, said Aaron Sellers, public information officer for the board.
